Thats what i am trying to explain. Of course the ideal situation is mutual trade. Bangladesh is doing its part, its time for India to do the same. 1 billion import from BD is a start but India have to gear up significantly, as it both should and have capacity to do, in order to create a mutually benefit trade relationshionship.
Why should not BD use that same argument for Indian products. Could just label them something random flimsy ground and ban those products.
Bangladesh has lot of products to offer. India just have to show that it is a serious trade partner.
It dosent matter how or what product India buys from BD, as long as the trade is somewhat balanced. Lots of indian products in BD market, are also produced by local competitors in Bangladesh. Why should we then import something that can be made locally?
